On-loan forward Odion Ighalo has been advised to accept a permanent deal at Manchester United rather than make a return to Shanghai Shenhua at the end of his loan deal at Old Trafford.

Ighalo joined the Red Devils in January in a shock move on deadline day, and has impressed at the club, scoring four goals in three starts before football activities were halted due to coronavirus pandemic.

While United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had hinted to offer Ighalo a permanent deal, there had been reports from China that Shenhua are set to offer the player a €400-per-week deal if he returns.

But former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh does not think it is wise for the striker to return to Asia.
